V V tion has been'established between theends It is my purpose to sever the neck band of the'neck band, the narrower end 11of the portion12 of the tie at a suitable point in tie is then pulled't'o dispose the knot. of the the length thereof and toprovide an adetie in proper 'positio'n and the connection quate form of separable connection between itself will be drawn through the knot of they 9 )v tie and slightly below same in the manner shown in Figure 1. The wider end 10. of the-tie will entirely obscure from view the neck band connection.

b The invention will obviate the usual necessity of untying knots each time the tiev is removed and replaced inasmuch as the ends of the neck hand portion '12 may be readily disconnected when pulling in opposite direcw tions upon the neckband and the narrower end 11 of the tie to cause the'projecti'on 18 to ride out of the annular groove 19. In other words, the original knot formed in the tie may be preserved until the. wearer.

1U deems it necessary to have the tie cleaned or pressed.

The invention is susceptible of various changes in its form, proportions and minor details of construction and the, right. is here 29 in reserved to make such changes as. properly fall Within the scope of the appended- Claims; i

Having described the invention, what is claimed is: r

" 1. As anew article of manufacture, a neck tie having the neck band portion thereof severed at an appropriate point in its length,

' a detachable connection of sectional forma- V 0 tion, the sections of the connection carried upon the ends: of the neck band being telescopically associated at their adjacent ends, one of these sections having an annulargroove adjacent to. and' within the fie ing end-thereof, and a yiel'dably mounted projection carried upo l otherseetion-and disposed within the groove establishing I I swivel connection between the sections.

2. As a new article of manufacture, a necktie having the neck band portion there of severed at an appropriate point in its length, a separable connection having the parts thereof carried. upon the ends of the: Y neck band (for telescopic association at their adjacent ends, one of the parts having an annular groove adjacent; to and the telescopingend thereof, the other part hav ing spaced'transversely disposed slots, and a. projection yield'ably mounted apex-1- the other part: between said: slots: for disposition withinthe groove to establish a swivel con-- motion between the parts. 7
